'CBS Mornings' host Gayle King, 68, says 'The Golden Bachelor' Gerry Turner's story gives her hope
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: All eyes are peeled for 'The Golden Bachelor' as 71-year-old Gerry Turner edges closer to deciding on his life partner between the two final women that remain on the show.
'CBS Mornings' host Gayle King has her own theories about who has won the retired restaurateur's heart. But the 68-year-old also revealed that the show gave her hope to find love much later in life.
In a recent Instagram post, King teased an upcoming interview with the bachelor and shared who she thought could be the one to tie the knot with Turner.
Gayle King on who would win over 'The Golden Bachelor'
King shared a video on her account that showed her greeting her new guest for the first time and right off the bat, she was speculating who might win the finale that is set to air on November 30.
"Personally, if it was my vote, I would say Theresa," the host said, "But I think that there's something with you and Faith. There's something between the two of you that always seems to be back and forth."

Faith Martin ended up getting eliminated in the latest episode, a painful separation for both the contestant and the bachelor. Now, Leslie Fhima and Theresa Nist are the two left finalists on the show.
The caption to the post read, "Spoiler alert!!! Spoke to the #goldenbachelor @goldengerryturner earlier this week about whether or not he found love…I was half right after last night’s elimination…who do you think will win his heart? Love the message of this show! We can find LOVE at any age."
Gayle King gets 'hope' from 'The Golden Bachelor'
The CBS host also brought up Turner's wife, who had died a few years ago and left the restaurateur distraught. However, he was supported by his two daughters to participate in the reality show to find love again.
"I love the story about your wife too!" King told him, "I love the fact that you had such a great love for her but also you know she wants you to be happy as do your girls. And that you've spent enough time, you know, processing and, I hope, healing that your heart and your head are open for something else. And nobody can replace her, we get that."
She then went on to exclaim, "But it just gives me hope. Keep hope alive!"
King herself is a divorcee and separated from her husband William Bumpus over 30 years ago. She did not marry again and has kept her love life on the low and has not had any publicly revealed relationships.
